Is judging really wrong?

Let's get one thing straight. EVERYONE at one time or another has been a Judgy McJudgerson. Maybe it was about something as benign as a hairdo, but you do it. You looked, you saw, you judged. As a member of the female clan of this world, I can tell you that nobody judges better, more often and more harshly than females. And woo hoo, especially when it comes to another female. All you females out there shaking your head and saying "not me", I call bullshit on you. Here's the thing....if you are not hurting anyone, is it necessarily a bad thing? And by not hurting someone I mean, you are not blatantly calling someone out in public about something you have judged them on. I am talking about out with your girls, in a group, laughing in private judging. Is that so wrong? Does that really make us insecure women? Seriously, if I see some chick out in public in her pajamas, I'm sorry I am going to judge. How much effort does it take to put on some real pants? Yoga pants for goodness sake qualify. Does this make me secretly wish I could wear pajamas in public? Fuck no it doesn't. It means I am laughing my ass off at the fact that some dummy thought it was okay to wear her shit in public and look like a fool. Now I know there are some of you saying, what does it matter? Who is she hurting? Why do you have to judge? Shit, because it's a source of entertainment in this otherwise un-entertaining world that we live in. Look I am not posting this chick's picture on Facebook (which is still ruining your life by the way). I am not yelling at her from across the street to go home and change. I am just making a comment to one of my girls or my man. Is that so wrong? I can tell you that men have a TOTALLY different idea about judging. I know from personal experience that some men(yes baby I am talking about you) have no patience for it. He will just look at me and say why are you paying attention to some stupid chick when you should be paying attention to me? Good point. But sometimes, my ADD gets the best of me. But men, don't act like you don't judge as well. Maybe a totally different scale, but you do. How many arm chair QB's and couch potato aspiring Sportswriters are there? Yes, that is called judging. Whether or not you think the Lakers should get rid of Pao Gasol because he is too "soft". That is judging. Who's in the NBA? You or Pao? Thank you. I know we all know that one chick (which I am sure isn't ANY of you) that constantly has something to say about everyone. And by constantly, I mean negatively. That shit is not cool. And that is exactly the type of behavior that has given us other judgers a bad rap. I am all for freedom of speech, freedom of choice and all of that. But if you are going to say something, wear something or do something that makes me want to point and laugh, then you can bet your ass I am going to do it. Does this make me a judger? If you think so, then so be it. I personally feel that fashion faux pas should be exempt from being categorized as judging. If someone doesn't want to look in the mirror before they leave home, why should I have to suffer in silence? Look, everyone is already walking on egg shells of political correctness these days, even me. (two blogs in draft mode with titles that are already so politically incorrect I am hesitant to finish) The biggest evidence of judging obviously comes in the form of celebrities. Everyone always has something to say about celebrities. But shit, they get hazard pay for that, so I don't feel sorry for them at all. For ordinary folks, sometimes life just happens and there is someone there to see it and judge it. All I am saying is that some harmless chicken clucking in the company of friends does not a compulsive judger make. I am not above reproach. I have bad hair days, bad wardrobe days and I have made my fair share of late night trips in boxer shorts and slippers. Do I deserve to be judged? FUCK YES!! At the end of the day, here is this crazy woman's opinion and advice when it comes to judging. When has judging gone too far? When you are hurting someone else's feelings. When it is all consuming and you can't say a good word about anyone. My advice? Remember your audience before you open your mouth. Remember you may be the role model for a future judger of tomorrow and lastly remember that karma is a bitch and you can bet your ass she has judged you long before you even started.
